Guiding Through Tradition

In the spirit of the Gospel and the Carmelite Tradition, Crespi engages the student in three interlocking dimensions: Community, Service, and Prayer. We continue to build a community that listens and bears witness to the divine plan through the promotion of justice in the service of the whole person. Under the guidance of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Carmelite schools are places of prayer and contemplation, committed to living the gospel of social justice through our daily actions and interactions with the wider community.

Men of Character

There is a special bond that binds all members of the Crespi Family: it is through brotherhood that young men come to understand the value of community. We are all called to strive for fairness and honesty in our dealings with others, to hold ourselves to high moral standards, to treat everyone with respect, and strive for excellence in everything we do as Celts. At Crespi, we strive to develop students that are men of character and, together with these young men, to create a school we can all be proud of and serve as a model for others.

Refining Their Talents

Every child’s intelligence and abilities are far more complex than any grading scale. Therefore, variety and balance are required for a holistic education. We have a multitude of ways that our young men can cultivate and refine their talents, ways that nurture a sense of wonder and a passion for exploration. With multiple paths of learning, our educators understand and respond to diverse learning styles and the ever-evolving needs of our students. Whether through artistic pursuits or student activities, we have something for everyone.

The Crespi Man Fund

The CMF is the financial heart and soul of our school and helps sustain Crespi’s exceptional programs and activities. The gifts you make on an annual basis benefit every student, every program, everyday and support the operation and mission of the school.

A Gurian Model School

More than 60,000 teachers have been trained in the Institute’s programs and interventions, from more than 2,000 schools, with some of those schools becoming “GI Model Schools.” We provide the critical training missing from most post-secondary education related to how boys and girls learn differently.

Academic Excellence

Crespi Carmelite High School strives to offer each young man the opportunity to experience success and to achieve academic excellence. The academic achievements of present and past students indicate the quality of the school’s program. Crespi Carmelite High School is by its nature a college preparatory school. Academic excellence is a hallmark of Crespi Carmelite High School.

Vice Principal's Address

The coming school year promises to be Crespi’s best yet as we embrace the mantra that there are no problems; there are only solutions. As our students become lifelong learners in the twenty-first century, their creativity, resourcefulness, and adaptability become increasingly more important and valuable. Applying the MacBook Air as the ultimate tool for creation, our students will demonstrate the ability to remember, comprehend, apply, analyze, and evaluate new knowledge and skills as they engage in the creative and reflective dimensions of higher-order thinking. In many ways, Crespi students will experience the leading edge of education innovation, and the tools and resources at their disposal will equip each Celt with the ability to overcome that challenges necessary to build Crespi Men.

Beyond the computers and curriculum, the power of our small school community looms paramount in the Crespi experience. Drawing on the example of our Carmelite brethren, we celebrate our brotherhood and look to one another for strength. In an increasingly digitally connected world, we recommit ourselves to the human element of education – sharing our stories and supporting one another with our unique God-given gifts and talents. To maximize the reach of this human-centric approach, I begin this year by advising teachers, students, and parents of the three keys to success at Crespi: Be here, be here, be here. The strength of our community is best expressed in the lived experience of daily life at Crespi, and being here in body, mind, and spirit, students will reap the benefits of a rigorous academic program that has been designed and executed specifically for the students we serve.
